Installing on a old laptop is great because eventually after you get a more serious machine, you probably got enough experience to choose your distros.

Linux mint is certainly the most promising option, especially if you are just using the laptop, and don’t have any external monitors setup.

Then I believe a v60 might work best for you? I think a plastic v60 cost around 9$, and they can last decently long.

It is also insecure with possiblity to crash your computer, the only advantage is that it is cheap.

Honestly after moving into our current home, we were able to avoid Amazon almost completely. We don’t buy cookware, as carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel cookware lasts at least decades if not forever; we have way too many mugs from market and thrift store; and all of our clothes are thrifted with some from Costco.

we get groceries from farmers market, local ethnic stores, or super market. We get shelf stable products like toilet paper or drinks from Costco in bulk. We barely replace our electronic, because I would fix them with spare parts from ifixit and eBay; when it do need to get replaced, I get them from bestbuy or manufacture. We get most of the cleaning products from refil store or supermarket; we would buy soap from farmers market or local supplier.

We would only buy very obscure product from Amazon, like replacement knob for pot lid etc, but they are very very rare. One particular product we unfortunately relied on Amazon is the bamboo electric toothbrush brush head, we are trying to find some local salers that carry that, but cannot find any.

I like the idea of growing non-ml community, however, I wish larger instances do not block ML. Otherwise, they would just move to lemmy.ee or lemmy.one, just like how they moved from hexbear and grad to ml.

It is great tankies got their own place where they can be happy, but I really don’t want to interact with them. I am emotional about issues they engage in, and emotional me is usually not the nicest version of myself.

Social media is one of the few ways I can relax for couple hours per week outside of my job, and I really don’t want my social media experience to go full investigative journalism.

Uh, there is a typo, the second probably should say “functional languages”. We all know how people are attracted to map, filter, and reduce.

It is a hilarious joke, but please don’t rationalize replacing stuff when it is still working. Buy quality goods and maintain them properly, repair when needed.

A good coffee machine should last at least decades ❤️.
